OPERATION SCHOOL BELL provides new clothing to elementary age children in Clay and Platte counties who lack adequate or suitable clothing. The children are referred to ASSISTANCE LEAGUE by school counselors who bring the children to the School Bell Store for a memorable shopping experience. Students choose two new outfits, new socks, new underwear, a warm hat, winter gloves, a health kit, and a book of their choice. They receive a shoe voucher from a local shoe store. They return to school, sometimes wearing one of their new outfits, with new clothes and renewed self-esteem. Since beginning this program in 1993, over 900 children have been clothed through Operation School Bell^® each year.
